That is mean that the Logical Switches also define communication between hosts and VMs (for example between hosts, virtual DCs and virtualized System Center products). Naming conventions You can read about my naming convention in the […]

Port Classification Just a name that you put on the NIC. It is an abstraction for the Port Profiles and it is similar to the Storage Classifications in the Fabric. Tenants (customers) can set port classification during creation of the VM and therefore you are able for example to have port profile with names Extra […]
